Kanada erreicht offiziell das NATO-Verteidigungsausgabenziel von 2 % des BIP

I fear the way the world is heading, we are returning to the days where middle powers like ours cannot do the bare minimum of defence spending anymore but must constantly allocate upwards of 5% on defence.

Will be a difficult pill to swallow, but that was the way of things before the great peace dividend we experienced for generations. The post-war world order is now collapsing and self-defence is going to become a prerequisite to having strong international trade partners, bilateral mutual defence relations, and having Canada’s voice be respected on the international stage. Doubtlessly, much innovation will come from investment in military, drone technology, and digital security and sovereignty.
